FuriousFanBoys interviews Ben Goertzel regarding Artificial Intelligence. Ben started the OpenCog project (an open sourced AI non-profit), acts as an adviser to the Singularity University, and currently bounces back between Hong Kong and Maryland building in-game AI.

With chatbots, sometimes I think that a much fairer Turing test would involve testing humans who must communicate in their non-native language (with a representative spectrum of proficiencies)

After all, not only that would approximate what the AI must do, it's also much more representative of random human-human communication... (you don't know the language of, can hardly communicate with strong majority of humans)

And BTW physical bodies, are you sure you have one & have you heard about simulation argument?
